Gabriel Chrimes, an 8 year old Scout from Manchester, has chosen to sacrifice his presents this year. Instead he is asking for people to make food donations to charity. His mum, Nancy, spoke to 5 live:
鈥淕abriel, at first, sent a letter to Father Christmas and asked if he could have a nice present. Then he came back a couple of days later and said I don鈥檛 need a present for Christmas mummy, I don鈥檛 need anything.鈥� She continued:
鈥淭he next day he came to me after school and said Mummy, instead of a present can I have food to give to people that don鈥檛 have anything. I鈥檇 like that as my present instead please.鈥�

Gabriel added:
鈥渂ecause Christmas is a time for cheer, and it鈥檚 sad that people don鈥檛 have anything, I was helping them because I don鈥檛 want them to die鈥�.
So far Gabriel has collected over 135 items for the charity Porch Boxes.
